thanks to annie lennox i re-discovered the original ash version, really like both versions. special thanks to ash for its conception. truly great song.
@jimdivax what because lennox turned up the tempo and volume and added more instruments?? fraid you cant really call the ash version lame and like this one, thats kinda hypocritical...
Great song, excellent version, fantastic video. But it's a shame they didn't think of drafting in Charlotte Hatherley on guitar!! That would have been sheer perfection.
I know I'm going to get criticised for this since people watching this video are mostly Annie Lennox fans, but this is rubbish compared to the original by Ash.
A band of Annies!! Great, when are they touring, gotta be front row centre for that. Annie is just such a wonderful, beautiful woman. She does andorgyny like no one else. A Scottish national treasure!
@JoshyouwaMany she doesn't have any nieces as she is an only child but I won't argue the point with you, regardless of how many times she comes back, she cares because she does have links to the city and as she has traveled the world she can appreciate how a lot of cities all look the same when they have had local character taken out..
@JoshyouwaMany hi, I think she does visit on occasion but does so very privately, she still takes a strong interest, look at her comments about the city centre redevelopments!
This is how I feel about my Hunny Victor... he is the Shining light of my life... Trust Annie to nail it... she is up there with all the greats... awesome Annie, as is my Victor xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; )))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Some days I wake up very sad and depressed,. And then on the train to the office I start singing this song for myself. And when I get off the train I am feeling lucky and ready. And for that, I thank you Annie (and Ash).
I think this videos has a lot of x-men inspiration. She is dresses justa like the first Dazzler version and shining as she does too! loved the idea and th song. Love u annie!
So soulful. This woman is brilliant. What an amazing voice. She came on Jools Holland's New Years Eve show at the end of 2008 and brought the house down. Hadn't seen her in ages. She ticks all the boxxes.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
She looks like mutton dressed as mutton...another not so golden oldie who sold her soul, dragged out of the retirement home to push the Luciferian agenda, they're all at it...nice choice of song too, Shining Light...not too obvious eh Annie...& who do you keep looking up at i wonder? Bob Dylan knows...
@NarlySai ...she'll get credit alright, just not the sort you're thinking of. You have no idea what this song is all about & why it was chosen to be re-released. Lot of songs about "the light" & the sun being played on mainstream media at the moment, it's all preperation for a coming event, biggest hoax in histrory & you suckers are all gonna fall for it...the celebrity cult is blinding you.
@DuffMan790 Reading your comments makes me remember when I was brainwashed like you(ironically, you will take this comment and use it to bolster your own delusional twisted agenda). I am SO GLAD I am away from the cults and dogmas of organized religion. There lies the true horrors of this world. Go out, meet a girl(or guy if that is your bag)and get some happiness before you get too old and die.
@tulinmusclefan86 You make it sound like i'm some kind of religious nut...couldn't be further from the truth mate...people like Lennox, McCartney, Page, Dillon & the rest of the old esoteric music scene have been duped by nothing more than technology beyond their understanding, they think this "Devil" exists because of what they "see" when they do their rituals...Project Montauk. I have no agenda, just gaining knowledge ; )
I have to pinch myself when I think that it's TWENTY FOUR YEARS since the brilliant "Revenge" was released and here is Annie, sounding better than ever, looking more beautiful than ever and seeming so full of life and energy.
I have not stopped listening to this song since I heard it a few days ago and it just brings a massive smile to my face and makes me feel warm and happy inside.
Long may you sing for us, dear lady and all happiness to you!
this is the max....kate bush excells...but this?.....from the paisley displaced in edinburgh....god bless yi ya wee feckin fit like yi!...buttery anyone? (anyone?)
Me encanta Annie, desde siempre, sus temas son geniales y los temas siempre estan cargados de sentido y de emocion.....y como buena española sobre todo lo que más me gusta de ella es su pronunciacion cuando canta porque le entiendo casi todo (jejeje).......asi puedo disfrutar mas de lo que estoy escuchando
Me parece una version maravillosa, aunque otras personas muy respetablemente prefieran el tema original, creo que la version de Annie supera a la original..............y además me pone muy muy contenta cada vez que la escucho. Genial Lennox!!!!!!!!!!!! Nunca dejes de hacer buena musica, eres una especialista en ello
I just love this song nd all the blood I would sacrifice For you are my shining light Sovereign bride of the infinite Yeah, you are a shining light Yeah, you light up my life.... I LOVE IT IS WONDERFUL!!
I was wondering what happened to this version. Annie looks like she's having such a good time, I love it. By the way, I'm also a huge fan of Ash and this is a great, affectionate, ironic/comic take on their brilliant original. I hope the old "Ash is great and Annie sucks" v. "Annie's great and Ash sucks" nonsense doesn't raise its ridiculous head here.
